Poodle Owners. Color in fur

SalemWitchChild · 12-07-2004, 12:40 PM

I was looking through a catalog yesterday that has my company's products in it and saw someone elses ad with a poddle that was pink blue and green. Now I'm no poodle owner and never will be...But I was curious...whats the point?

This is not ment to offend those that do it. Just my general curiosity as to why.

Same reason people dye their hairs odd colours....simply for looks I've never dyed my oc nor do i ever plan to but at the ranch i work at sometimes for fun we get animal safe paints and paint the horses. Usually we stick to native-style horse patterns but sometimes we have fun and do other stuff too.

Cheers!

Yup...some things just don't have a point except that they're fun. Poodles are great dogs IMO and wonderful hunting/retrievers, beautiful swimmers, 2nd on the intelligence study I saw and beautiful. I probably wouldn't do that if I had one, but I can kind of see the fun in it as long as it's not some unhealthy chemical.

I've never done it and I don't think I ever would except possibly to Chloe to bring some extra smiles to the faces of the residents at the nursing homes we have visited. But I would only do it if it was able to be washed out right away.

I don't own a Poodle, though I would love to get a Standard some day (such great dogs). I don't know if I'd dye my dog...LOL.

I think if it was completely safe and would bring smiles to faces, why not?

I think if your going to do it, and it doesn't hurt the dogs coat, at least make different colors match! lol. .the one i saw was multi-colored. The colors were not flattering at all.

Maybe it also fulfills our fantasy of having a mythical animal at our side. I mean, who ever heard of a pink dog? Or a green one for that matter. LOL I almost dyed my chi's white coat, green on St. Patricks day once. I'm not sure my grumpy ol' man chihuahua would have seen the humour in it though.

Hehehehehe!

How long is too long? The poodle I saw didn't have the normal poodle cut. It was long and fluffy.
